Exactly. Everyone gets mad about being asked to pay, but servers and employees are not free. That money need to come from somewhere. And we all know the saying, “If you aren’t paying for it, you’re the product.” A subscription is probably the most ethical way to fund a service like YouTube aside from a “pay what you want” system which runs the risk of not bringing in enough to to cover costs.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's that thing the internet insists you be outraged about but you just can't bring yourself to care?English
23·10 days agoI mean, Louis CK was whipping his dick out and sexually harassing women. That’s a crime, not just “something the Internet doesn’t like”.

News@lemmy.world•Religious parents sue school district for respecting their child's gender identity - LGBTQ NationEnglish
24·25 days agoI believe they should only be required to tell if they child is a danger to themselves or others. Just like mental health professionals. As long as they aren’t a danger, I see no reason for a school to tell the parents anything but grades and classroom behavior.

4·30 days agoThey are usually the ones setting up the too good to be true situations, so they probably never thought they would be on the receiving end of one.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What Are You Actually Listening To These Days????English
1·1 month agoI have recently really fallen in love with Em Beihold’s music. She had that one big song a couple years ago called “Numb Little Bug” that you might know. She has a lot of songs about dealing with anxiety, depression, and other mental health stuff, among other topics. Her music is hitting just right for me right now.

News@lemmy.world•Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce marry at New York City’s Madison Square GardenEnglish
3·1 month agoAnd it shows. I don’t listen to her music, but from what I have heard, her last album was a mess. She started with fairly generic, but relatable enough teenage love songs. And over the years has slowly become more and more out of touch.

17·1 month agoWhen will the obsession with Taylor swift end? Her fame has been a constant since I was a teen and frankly I think she is over staying her welcome.

Manga@ani.social•How are you peeps able to take it waiting so long for releases ?English
2·1 month agoYou got to follow some weekly releases. I have a new chapter to read every other day at least. Just focus on the weeklies, and put the monthly+ on the back burner. Then when those monthly+ series release, it’s like a nice treat. Alternatively, find some other hobbies to fill you time with.

Trans Memes•My therapist hit me with this banger regarding my attraction to menEnglish
9·1 month agoWhich is wild, because I feel like most trans women I meet are at least bi, but usually lesbians.but that is probably just the circles I run in.

Late Stage Capitalism@lemmy.world•Hakeem Jeffries criticizing Mamdani and not Fetterman is all you need to know about the character and the loyalties of the entire partyEnglish
2·1 month agoHonestly, they really don’t believe in women’s and LGBT+ rights anymore either. They like saying they are because it gets votes, but in practice, they are perfectly fine sacrificing them as long as it benefits them in their real goals. (Supporting there donors and lobbyists) When they do have control and the ability to fight for people’s rights, they never get around to it.
Sure, it might not work, but no sense not trying anyway. If you abandon trying to win via election, it will just give them more grounds to claim legitimacy. The last election was fishy, let’s not given them elections that they win without cheating.
Both. Pull over is just so comfy. I have a oversized pull over that is amazing for feeling comfy at home, partner’s house, or running an errand. But zip up hoodies are so much more adaptable to changing weather and much easier to take on and off. So I have one of those too.

News@lemmy.world•Mark Zuckerberg wants Meta to launch its own prediction marketEnglish
6·2 months agoHe has been for a while. He is always just trying to make his own version of something that is already popular, (metaverse when VRchat was already popular, established, and much more fun. Reels after tiktok because the big thing) or tries to buy the popular trend, (Instagram, whatsapp, he tried to buy snapchat at some point, but they declined) hell, facebook itself was just his take on Myspace. The man doesn’t have original ideas.
Honestly, sometimes lamps annoy me more then an over head light. Lamps are normal about eye level, so they shine directly into my eyes more often. Where as over head light it on the roof, were I don’t normally look.
And then there is the issue of actually lighting the room well enough for me to see. Sometimes lamps aren’t enough and I can’t see what I am doing well enough. Building legos for example. It super hard to see what color piece I am being told to use when the lighting to too dim/far away/too warm. But my ND partner hate over head lights. So I suffer (hyperbolic)



Oh my god, she is still around? I haven’t heard about her in a while. Looks like they are trying to drum up more trans hate again. She is just a propaganda pusher.
